Did i make the right choice with the Veritas 2.0 7ft Medium action ?
I have the gen 1 veritas medium-fast and have used it for those type baits and have tossed a 3/4 oz trap on it and handled it fine. It's personal preference but I would say you made the Right choice

Denali J2
~ not on their staff ~ I have several jadewoods and a couple rosewoods I got used but in good condition that i have yet to use. No issues at all with jadewoods, and to me they are good rods. My rod experiences of brands is limited. Started with Pretty cheap rods at wallyworld, to picking up a couple mojo rods and a veritas. I like them too but i noticed i gravitated to using more Denali rods. Maybe sometime i will be able to expand my rod selection and try some other "better" stuff but for now, they work well

Less Is Best!
That is pretty heavily coated with grease. I purchased a couple reels used that were the same exact way. After a a little tlc, well a lot of tlc they were great. Complete cleaning, bearing soak w/ ultrasonic and re lubes.

Spooling With Fluorocarbon
I still may try the red label but picked up a few spools from 12lb to 20lb of invizx while they have the sale going on

Spooling With Fluorocarbon
I used invizx last year in 15 lb and 17lb. And no complaints with it at all.To me it had great knot strength, and abrasion resistance. Was my first time trying an expensive fluoro And hope i didnt spoil myself. I want to try the red label because it is a little cheaper.

Lews Carbon Fire Speed Spool?
For 40 bucks it would be hard to beat i think
-
Lews Carbon Fire Speed Spool?
It could have been the graphite frame. I honestly can't remember what it was. I guess it had some small flaw with me, so i sold it to a friend. i used it for froggin and it worked when i needed it to. I'm not too familiar with the laser mg but they must be similar reels ? Both at the $80 price point
-
Lews Carbon Fire Speed Spool?
I had one but sold it. It was a decent reel. I'm not sure exactly what it was about it now, but i preferred the regular speed spool over the carbon fire. If you have a decent deal on one i wouldn't hesitate scooping one up.
